Scream Fortress VIII

Well the Halloween update for TF2 finally came out. They basically just copied what they did last year and added a few skins, maps, and taunts. But man was it broken when it first came out. On Mac the game would crash and you couldn't even load maps. Which makes me wonder if the TF2 team even tested the update on Mac before releasing it. That means either they don't care or they aren't given many resources for testing the game. Either way, I'm very disappointed. On PC, you could load Halloween maps just fine, but the Merasmissions didn't work for most people. And for those who did, they used it to their advantage. The community market price for the creepy crawly cases shot up to about $15 per case. That price does not make sense for an item that everyone in the community should have access to. But because of the low supply and the high demand, the price shot up.
They finally fixed the bugs with the Merasmissions not working, but four or five days after the update was released. It took them long enough. At least they're now going to extended the length of the event to try to compensate for their mistakes. I know they're probably currently working on the pyro update and Smissma, but they need to be more careful with their updates and fixing them in the future. I'm starting to worry if Valve cares about TF2 anymore. Hopefully the next update is better.
